Well the J58s are very expensive to operate. The TEB produces a blueish exhaust. Often the SR-71 seems docile at air shows. Many do not understand the variable bypass engine systems used in the SR-71. This is not an air show plane. But at over 100,000 feet and in full by pass, and in ram jet effect. Now it is impressive. 4.2 mach +
I was on the flightline this very day launching the T-38 Formation. I was crew chief of tail number 64-13281. Did you get any footage of the T-38 Formation?
Unfortunately, between this and the other videos that is about the extent of my SR stuff. Really too bad because I got this new camera about the time the plane was retired and was never able to use it! This was an older camera and I hopped it up some to bring out the best pic and sound. Of course no video could ever capture the grandeur of that plane!

Appears that they were not using the normal shots of TEB at this time.

@Pasovineyard What else would they use? And what makes you think they weren't using "normal" TEB?

Why are the tails canted inward?
